When they said they had a really fast car and then i saw the civic i closed the video. If they think a Honda civic is fast then their research is all flawed and not worth watching.

close it if you want, but that TVR that they drive makes up for it tho. I'm guessing that they used the honda to show what a common commuter may drive. If you have ever seen Top Gear, they drive faster cars than that all the time.

at the beginning he is only listing what they would need to test the theory to get the traffic camera to not snap the pic... not saying directly that the civic was condisdered as a fast car.

I mean come on, after 2 miles, it only went 129 miles per hour... thats sad.
